How to have fun Sailing with Whales, you have to see it to believe it

[@jasonstork9606]

Fantastic presentation of what was a great week on the water. Thank you Paul. Great memories.

[@SailingKateLouise]

Thanks Jason, Pt 2 next week, cheers Paul

[@SailingKateLouise]

Hi I'm Paul and welcome to our 15 boat ( but maybe 19)boat dinghy cruise around South Moreton Bay in Queensland. A 10 hour drive north for the Sydney Raiders. We saw whales, dugongs and dolphins and met some fantastic people. This is what I love about dinghy cruising. Thanks for watching, please hit that like button, subscribe or leave a comment....I will reply and also watch part 2 for even more fun, thanks.

[@TFstopmo]

Paul, Ya had to put pops name as ‘Hollie’s dad’😂😂😂

[@sailoutofagarage6212]

The display of the different boats sailing made my day, thank you!

[@SailingKateLouise]

my pleasure thanks again for watching...they do have a strong group up there but they have great weather and are surrounded by islands, so why wouldn't you go sailing, cheers Paul

[@robkunzig5795]

Man at times it is tough to wait... I have a peaceful moment now to enjoy this video... but wait I will!

[@SailingKateLouise]

Thanks Rob and there will be a part 2 next week....fair warning, cheers Paul

[@TFstopmo]

Loved the part about wailing, Although I regret saying the thing about the harpoons as my favourite animal seems to be said ‘whales’

[@SailingKateLouise]

Hi, well he was only joking. Nobody likes killing whales but unfortunately some nations don't see it that way. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, cheers Paul.....don't miss part 2 next week.

[@stevev5510]

I think you people have a drinking club with a sailing problem. No worries, keep supporting each other! Thanks for bringing us along .

[@SailingKateLouise]

Ha Ha all sailors drink actually that's not true....3 of us are teetotalers, cheers Paul

[@dandom71]

Thanks again for another great episode. You clearly take care and time in putting your videos together. looking forward to part 2

[@SailingKateLouise]

Well it took about 5 days, as I shot so much stuff and 4 others shared their footage with me, which always make the videos look better. Thanks again for watching and leaving a comment, cheers Paul

[@thebrizrobbo]

Great video celebrating a great week. It was awesome to meet all you folks. I hope to do it again soon.

[@SailingKateLouise]

Glad you liked it ...Pt 2 is even better. Thanks for making it so much fun maybe it should be an annual event, cheers Paul

[@rossbarnett3759]

That was a winner Paul congratulations.

[@SailingKateLouise]

Thanks Ross and thanks for leaving a comment( I'm still not talking about the Bledisloe), cheers Paul

[@petertebbutt9032]

Thanks Paul! I'm living vicariously with your videos while , hopefully, nearing the end of numerous life interventions which have interrupted the refurbishment of Shirley Valentine. With any luck I'll be back on the water before too long! Cheers, Pete

[@SailingKateLouise]

Great Pete we miss you....Myall lakes is calling. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul

[@phillipobrien7365]

Well done again Paul ! Great cruising gound, further South toward Gold coast is good as well, Good to see the Sydney crew making the trip up North. If we weren`t away we would have been there, but back home now and ready for more sailing adventures. See you somewhere on the water real soon.

[@SailingKateLouise]

Thanks Phil, it seemed like a hell of a long drive to me but nothing compared to what you guys have done. I'm going to myall lakes on the 19th for a few days ...call me, cheers Paul

[@recidivist11]

Awesome vid Paul can't wait for the next edition. You guys have some beautiful shelter waters available.

[@SailingKateLouise]

[@SailingKateLouise]

[@brucedyson-smith459]

Great stuff Paul,very enjoyable this one.

[@SailingKateLouise]

Glad you enjoyed it Bruce, cheers Paul

[@stephenbrown1689]

Great video Paul it looked like a lot of fun and would have been amazing sailing with the whales.

[@SailingKateLouise]

Hi Steve, well Ric got a bit closer than most....it would have been terrifying, cheers Paul

[@DWilks-fo1ze]

Well edited video as usual Paul. Nice to see the deep north. The 'aber' name of the Vivier boat is a Breton word meaning inlet or river mouth. It's the same in Cornish and Welsh. Inver is the Goidelic cognate (Irish / Scots Gaelic). Pronounced Abb-erh in Cornish n Welsh. May see you on a raid after Xmas with one of the rarer Welsfords

[@SailingKateLouise]

Thanks for the info! and I hope to sail with you, cheers Paul

[@robanderson9272]

Great video. Thanks Paul you are inspiring.

[@SailingKateLouise]

Thanks Rob, Bruce has posted a Sand Isles Raid on Nov 2. I can't make that one but have. But I hope you have fun, cheers Paul

[@afloatinawoodenboat]

Looking forward to it!

[@SailingKateLouise]

I had the best time and have spent all week reliving it....so much happened part 2 next week

[@afloatinawoodenboat]

Paul, what a delightful video! I feel like you really captured the feeling of the first day - so much fun and laughter! Thanks so much @sailingkatelouise

[@SailingKateLouise]

Thanks Holly and thanks for making it so much fun...maybe it should be an annual event, cheers Paul

[@afloatinawoodenboat]

@@SailingKateLouise what a great idea! Can’t wait to come down to you guys too.

[@solitudeandsailing]

Wow, he built a beautiful boat in 6 months

[@SailingKateLouise]

Yep and he's built a few....all beautiful, thanks for watching and leaving a comment, cheers Paul

[@aseeker2109]

Brilliant, thanks...😀

[@SailingKateLouise]

You're welcome!, cheers Paul

[@gertboerman3666]

Next year I retire and the plan is to buy a Waarschip 570. 18 ft and a bit, wood. Plenty info and pics on the internet. Loads of people with Dutch roots in Australia. I wonder if you , or one of your mates, have spotted them down there.

[@asd67lkj]

My Daughter lives in that area, so was interested to see it from the water.

[@SailingKateLouise]

Some great sailing there, always in sight of land but the winds can get pretty strong. Also a big fetch so it can get choppy. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul

[@markgallagher1376]

Awesome video, Paul. Can’t wait for part 2. Are there salt water crocs in Queensland?

[@SailingKateLouise]

Well yes but a lot further north. Poisonous jelly fish can appear in tropical waters from roughly Nov-May, cheers Paul

[@stevep5819]

Another great video Paul, might be a bit hot up there for my liking though

[@SailingKateLouise]

ah well it was about 26 during the day but down to 12 at night, but some great cruising. Thanks for watching Steve as always, cheers Paul

[@SmallSailboatCruising]

You are making me feel terribly homesick! Great video. Any thoughts of coming down for the Wooden boat festival in Hobart?

[@SailingKateLouise]

I'm trying to get a crewing gig to sail down there. Thanks again for watching Chris, cheers Paul

[@eddrm4685]

Thx for sharing the raid. Who makes the map book shown around 8:00 mins in and do they make them for the USA? I checked out Afloat in a Wooden Boat Sailing's channel and latest video...very nice boats! Just finished your video...very well done! Looks like some great friends, boats, and memories! I'm heading to the coast for what will probably be the final sail of the season on my Alcort Sunfish. Weather prediction looks pretty good! Around 70 degrees F and winds 10 to 15. Looking forward to next weeks video!

[@SailingKateLouise]

The charts book is called 'Beacon to Beacon' cruising Queensland waters but I have no idea if they make a US version. Send me a photo of you boat when you hit the water fair winds, cheers Paul

A Whale of a time was had by all 🐳

[@SailingKateLouise]

Yep and thanks for leaving a comment, cheers Paul

[@skaraborgcraft]

Proper job! Evenings closing in up in Scandinavia, good weather coming your way.......bastards.

[@SailingKateLouise]

Thanks mate.....it was 26c up in Queensland where we were but back here in Sydney 950kms south still a bit chilly at night. Thanks again for watching and leaving a comment, cheers Paul

[@virgilschroder6043]

What is the meaning of the red banner with the yellow cross? I see many of you guys fly it. Sorry if it has been asked before.

[@SailingKateLouise]

It's the Marine code 'R' and as the groups is called Raid Sydney we have adopted the R flag as ours. It's also the regional flag for Scone in the northern part of Sweden ...once an independent country. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, cheers Paul

[@Lbatross3]

Man with beer needs a cpap machine if he can’t sleep.

[@SailingKateLouise]

Thanks for that and watching, cheers Paul
